Elijah Curtis married a second time.

The wife of Alden Curtis, son of Elijah, gives us the following: "Alden remembered hearing his father say that he built his house and married Eunice Morse when he was 25 years old and they lived together 20 years. That would make the date of the marriage 1796 and of her death 1816.
We are living in the house Elijah Curtis prepared for his bride a hundred years ago, though it has been thouroughly repaired and somewhat remodeled. It was said that being an only daughter, her father gave her the finest house keeping outfit of any bride in this section and several pieces of furniture have survived the century. We have the nicest chest of drawers I ever saw, a table, a mirror and some chairs said to have belonged to the outfit."
